Life is Good
This R here continued as Congressman -- and had to wear a fucking ankle bracelet -- and *after* his conviction, Gingrich even appointed him to a "plum position."So will republicans you partisan ouece of shit. It's happened before and it'll happen again.Here's another fact: unless a crime has been broken, then one isn't a criminalOr it would mean Americans would choose a criminal over a buffoon.
I'm an American and I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton, EVER. Whether or not Trump is a buffoon is a matter of opinion. Whether or not Hillary is a criminal is a matter of fact. Thanks for proving you'll vote for a criminal.![]()
Here's a fact. When a crime is committed, Democrats will still vote criminals in office. Hillary wouldn't be the first one.
When?

Jay Kim has become Congress's disreputable uncle. He's always there, but no one wants to discuss him.
"It's like an awkward family dinner," said one Republican lawmaker, asking not to be identified. "You just don't talk about it."
Even Kim's fiercest allies describe their colleague's predicament-the California Republican is restricted to the halls of Congress and his Fairfax apartment as part of his sentence for accepting more than $250,000 in illegal foreign and corporate contributions-delicately.
"It's an awkward situation for everyone. I'm also the first to admit the guy made mistakes," said Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.). But he added quickly, "His plight has not diminished his effectiveness here in Congress."

House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bud Shuster (R-Pa.), who is facing an ethics investigation himself, is not particularly eager to talk about why he and House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) gave Kim a plum appointment on the group negotiating the colossal highway bill. Shuster emphasized that Gingrich actually made the decision to select Kim, whom he described as "a very active member."
